This place is the perfect getaway!! The property is so picturesque that it takes your breath away and the log house is beautiful and spacious. The pictures do not even begin to capture how amazing this property is. Will definitely be back!

We absolutely love this place, it was so rustic looking and it was huge. Each of my kids had their own bed and my boys really really loved this house. It has a beautiful view of the mountains and it’s so quiet. The hot tub was amazing to use after the long hikes that we did in the mountains. it had a really nice kitchen lots of windows. It’s about 10 minutes outside of Palmer up lazy mountain so it is kind of a drive, but it was so nice because you weren’t in the thick of things.

We had a very nice stay. We were an extended family group so each family was able to have their own area. I felt the cabin was clean and overall had everything we needed. My biggest complaint is that the pictures didn’t totally match the reality. One of the bedrooms in the basement level had different sleeping accommodations then we were expecting. It still fit our sleeping needs okay but was a little disappointing The basement finish out isn’t as nice as the main levels but it was clean for us so we were fine. I communicated with our contact a couple times before we came to get additional information on groceries and a few other things since we had never been to Alaska before and she was very responsive and helpful.

This property was the perfect location for our family Christmas. There was quite the wind storm raging when we got to Palmer and were loading up on food for the weekend. The owner reached out to make sure they would have the roads cleared for our arrival. The drive was uneventful, which is what we hoped for.
The property is beautiful We arrived when it was getting dark and didn't get a chance to see the property until the next morning. It was quite the sight to wake up to. The owners met us at the house and made sure to do a thorough walk through so we knew what to watch out for with with winds and cold weather. Some of the best hosts I have had the pleasure to work with. Believe them when they suggest you give the steam shower a try...it is amazing! There were a few power outages during our stay, due to to the high winds. The owners arrived within 10 minutes to get the generators turned on which was greatly appreciated.
All in all, I would highly recommend this property.

Only complaint is the kitchen Viking stove. Burns everything and we were trying to cook Thanksgiving dinner This place would be 5 +++ if the stove worked properly

Listen here, if you’re looking for that real Alaskan cabin feel out in the country surrounded by tree’s and a pasture with cattle and a friendly horse named Sonny.. this cabin has a display of animals mounted on the walls, bear skins, various other fur pelts to snuggle up with. This cabin is very spacious, we had a group of 5 and we all had our own cozy room, the downstairs has its own small kitchen, set of appliances, and a usable garage. There were a handful of cowboy hats in the entry way we all put on to set the mood quickly. We ended our trip here, 2 nights we had, but would of stayed there a week, so quiet, cozy, awesome deck to kick back on, hot tub, games inside to play on a rainy day. Sloan, Katie the owners were great hosts and very responsive to prior questions and throughout our stay. I look forward to returning and showing friends this awesome place!

This lodge is OUTSTANDING! We had a party of 12 and were all comfortable with plenty of room (and private space)! Katie, the host, was so friendly and accommodating. Even though it rained a few days, we had an unforgettable experience!!

This was a family vacation, 11 people were with us and the house was perfect. It was not far to Palmer, the contacts were quick to help us and we had plenty to entertain us with moments of appreciation for the beauty of what god has given us. This is a vacation that will live with with us for the rest of our lives.

First of all I want to say how grateful we were to have such welcoming and inviting hosts who were very responsive and helpful in a not so ideal situation out of everyone's control. The day we were supposed to arrive, the power for the entire neighborhood went out. The site contact called me prior to check in to make us aware so we were able to prepare for the possibility of a candle-lit getaway. The roads on the way there were well plowed and easy to access with an all wheel drive. Our guest contact also called to make sure that we had appropriate car equipment to handle some of the icy parts of the road (studs, AWD/4WD). No one had an issue getting there. When we arrived, the cabin had plenty of candles available for us, and while the power went back on a few hours later, it went off again, and within the hour, they were pulling up a generator to hook up if needed. Fortunately, the power came right back on just after they pulled up the generator and stayed on for the remainder of the trip. The cabin was clean, and welcoming and the morning brought breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. We laughed a lot, played game, took a few hour trip to Skitawk nearby, and shares some wonderful meals together which was sorely needed. The hot tub made for a nice post-ski soak while we watched the snow fall. We had a WONDERFUL experience the entire time. I cannot recommend this place enough.

Had a great time at this cabin. The views were fantastic the interior was well furnished and the decorations were cool.
The kitchen was impressive but lacked a few items such as blender, food processor, carving knives. Also the HDMI cord to the tv was not working properly luckily I had my personal cord with me. Maybe for people that are not tech savvy, a welcome letter with instructions on how to work the audio system would be awesome. The hot tub was great! The views of the horses was also nice.

I hate to leave this review because the owners were very kind. Upon our arrival, we noticed there were a couple of things that need to be taken care of, and so the owner came to take care of those issues. They were also very kind about me not including our babies as part of the number of our group. That was completely my mistake!
The location is lovely, with a beautiful view. However, the house did not live up to our expectations and hopes. Our family paid a lot of money to stay in this home, and yet felt as if it was not as clean as it should have been. The basement was the biggest disappointment, and this is where up to 8 people could possibly sleep. The floors were filthy. The bathroom was disappointing in that the toilet leaked, which left the floor wet the whole week, and the sink was clogged.
There were mouse droppings in the basement kitchen cupboard.
The upstairs tub must have had a leak because water dripped down to the kitchen when the tub was used. The view from the deck is lovely, but the furniture should be replaced. The barbeque was horribly dirty! When we stripped the bedding upon our leave, we realized the pillows were not what you would want to rest your head on.
It does not make me happy to leave this review. I did contact the owner with my thoughts, but did not get a response. It is my obligation to share my thoughts so that if someone is wanting to spend that kind of money to stay there, they would at least know what our experience was. I was responsible for renting a property for a family gathering, and this property that I chose left me feeling quite embarrassed.

Owners are very kind!
We spent a week at this property in August. The location is lovely! The owners are very kind people and were so understanding when noticing that we had not included our babies in our total count of guests. They wanted us to just enjoy our family, and we so appreciated their kindness. There were a couple of issues that needed to be taken care of upon our arrival, and those issues were taken care of immediately.
Our overall feeling of the cabin was that it could have been cleaner, especially the basement. The floors were dirty. The basement bathroom was not in good condition, with a clogged sink and leaking toilet, which caused the floor to be wet the whole week. This created a musty smell in the basement. The size of the deck is great, but some of the furniture is in rough condition. The BBQ was a mess.
I would recommend that the owners purchase new pillows, and put pillow covers/protectors on the pillows. Most of the pillows looked pretty used!
I would say that a 4 star rating is being very generous. A 3 1/2 rating would be more accurate.

The view from the property is stunning and we literally got to enjoy it 24/7 as the sun never went down (we were there late June/early July). Be prepared if you are sleeping in the master bedroom as there are no drapes (they didn’t want to cover up the view). They do provide you with sleep masks - if you’re not use to all night sun. The cabin perfectly sleeps 6 adults, 4 teens, and 2 littles. There was plenty of room to spread our in and out of the cabin. We loved the horseback riding tour at the Sunderland farm provided by the cabin owner. We were also never more than half an hour from all the activities we wanted to do in the Palmer area. We highly recommend this place!
